As an experienced Audit Manager, you will be driven to develop personally and professionally. You'll be confident working closely with our clients to understand their business. We are looking for a Manager with a particular focus on OMBs and you may have one or more other areas of specialism. You will be motivated by the prospect of delivering excellence with both small and large audit teams that reflect the varying size of our client's businesses.

You will oversee the effective management of a substantial portfolio of clients; planning assignments, briefing staff on the clients' business, ensuring all work carried out is in compliance with government legislation and that client and statutory deadlines are routinely met and exceeded. Business development experience would be an advantage as you would be expected to identify opportunities, research and prepare proposals, as well as take part in formal presentations to prospective clients.

If you are looking for a combination of work-life balance and career progression, RSM offers both by allowing you to be in control of your time and supporting you with tailored programmes such as providing you with a mentor who will be there to help you take the next step in your career.
